On saturday at noon Sally Blue reached the harbour outside Umeå where they said goodbye to friends and family almoust two years ago. A fleet of around 20 boats met up a few miles from the harbour, among them the searescueteam and media. Flares, ballons and champange was flying in the air and all the boats where honking. It was three young sailors with very bis smiles that jumped on solid ground and was met with hugs and applaudes.

Sally Blues crew will return to the boat and head north this evening. They still have some miles to go, including a short sailingcompetition outside Kalix and the final trip into Kalix town next sunday.

Sally Blue, the sailingboat!

2007-06-30

Sally has finally transformed into a sailingboat again after one mounth of motoring. We are sailing to Sassnitz about 120 nm to the east in a few hours. A good leg to start with. Hopefully we havent forgotten everything in the art of handling a real boat.

The mast was dancing maruenge to the music from the market yesterday. It might have been because it was happy to stand straight again, but the fact that we put it up during the world championship in motorboatracing might have helped. Bad waves made the mast shake its entire body, the boat to rock and the crew to swere.

We hope to arrive in Sweden around the seventh of July.

New Crew

We have reached Hannover along the Mittellandkanal and have just picked up a new crew named Thomas.

We plan to be in Travemünde to put up the mast around the 28th. Then we plan to do a short stop on the danish island Bornholm before we cross our route and return to Sweden. More about that later.
